Uhmm, started with a stock W250 and added all this crap! Even for a real W350, all the gear would be a stretch. Right now it must be over GVW, despite all the fiberglass. Start with what you need, not modify to this extent.

why? in 92 the w250 and 350 frame is the same, and he upgraded everything else.

I think it's pretty cool. I'm curious if I could squeeze in a 3rd seat instead of the center console thing...

I wouldn't hesitate a second to take this out. Looks to be Baja proven by the looks of the library. Love it!

pretty much what Ive done with my old powerstroke.

Start with a 3/4 ton, convert it to a 1-ton, gear it for MPG, flatbed it, then add (custom) camper.

Ill be pushing max GVWR all the time according to the door tag, but according to tire and axle ratings Im doing just fine.

there used to be frame differences between w250 and w350 trucks, so merely upgrading the axles wastnt enough.

i think the other issue is, youre still legally overloaded.

Do the 3/4 and 1-ton dodges have different max GVWR?

The vintage F-series I have, they are the same.

The W250s normally had 8,000 to 9,000 pound GVW.

The W350s normally had 10,000 to 11,000 pound GVW.
